Is Pink Cocaine / Tusi legal in Armenia?

Confirmed against a primary sourceVerified September 21, 2026
Legal status
Not applicable as a single status for Armenia, and this is a completed decision rather than an unfinished search. The reason is Armenia's own: the label denotes a variable street mixture rather than one molecule, and record ARM-76 of the Armenian dossier stopped at applicability for that reason rather than searching on. Armenia's annex is a list of named substances, so a mixture sold under a colour has no line of its own to match. Two constituents the name is commonly attached to are themselves in this table and they point opposite ways. The brominated phenethylamine is printed in the annex and carried by its own record, and the ketamine line is printed as well, so a sample containing either is controlled through that constituent, while a sample containing neither is not reached at all. The result therefore follows each identified constituent and the powder's colour decides nothing. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «pink cocaine», «tusi» and «2C-B», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way.
Consequences if caught
Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) and the bands at Article 393(4) to (6) apply to a listed substance, and no single annex entry can be assigned to the label, so the exposure follows each constituent actually identified rather than the label on the package. The two constituents the label is most often attached to are both printed in the annex, so a sample containing either carries the full exposure through that constituent, while a sample containing neither is not reached by any line at all.
If prescribed or medical
Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for pink cocaine is no single annex entry, because the label names a mixture and the annex names substances. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry cannot be put under the label at all, and has to be put under whichever constituent is actually identified, because the annex answers molecules and has nothing to say about a colour.
Documentation
Carry nothing on the strength of the label, because the label is what this row declines to resolve. Identify the constituent, carry the paperwork that constituent needs, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy before travelling. The placement carried against is no single annex line, so the constituent's own placement is what governs. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. No paperwork can be prepared against a label, because the annex answers molecules and the label names a mixture.
